Pixelmap Builder is a professional layout tool for LED video wall and stage designers, VJs, and technicians. Plan your pixel map, test your screens, and export everything you need for a flawless install or show. Design your layout: Build multi-screen LED walls with custom rows, columns, and panel sizes. Position screens freely, mix panel resolutions, and see real-world dimensions in meters and feet as you work. Wiring and ports: Automatically generate port wiring diagrams with configurable panels-per-port, direction, and start corner — perfect for planning your data runs before you're on site. Radar test patterns: Preview your LED wall with animated radar overlays — pulse, sweep, wave, and cross wipe patterns, with multiple origin modes including independent per-screen testing. Great for verifying screen alignment and signal flow before a show. Export everything: Export high-resolution PNGs of your pixel map, CSV coordinate sheets, ready-to-import Resolume Arena project files, and MP4 test pattern videos for your media server. Make it yours: Customize the app's background, button colors, and text colors to match your workflow. Whether you're mapping a single stage backdrop or a complex multi-wall installation, Pixelmap Builder helps you plan it right the first time. A limited number of free exports are included. Pixelmap Premium unlocks unlimited PNG, CSV, Resolume, and MP4 exports. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
